A walk in the Park and swim in Pine Creek

Today we both had haircuts. Mine at 10 and Joe's at 11, so left about 9-ish and drove to Pinedale. I still had a sack of warm winter gloves and hats to take to the second hand store so did that first. Then Joe dropped me off at the beauty shop. Everyone in Under Wraps, where I had been going for years now, closed up shop and moved to a new large beauty shop and spa, Kattle Kates down on the west end of town. It's all decorated in a western theme. I thought it looks kind of ticky tacky. The old Under Wraps is going to be a business office now. A whole bunch of people work in the new place. Kaidy was still getting moved in, and had 3 ladies, including me, there waiting for haircuts. She is keeping really busy. Kaidy styled my hair just a little different, more "wedgie" so I might have a little more style, but it looks a lot like it always has. I saw Kathryn, a "shirt tail" relative of Joe's by marriage. I really like her and her husband Floyd and we had a short visit. I didn't get in for my appointment until 10:20, so Joe was out there waiting before I was finished, and although he had nearly 15 minutes to drive 1/2 a mile down the street to his "beauty shop" he was telling me he was going to be late.

While he was getting his "do" I took the car to the automatic car wash, and it's so dirty it didn't get clean (it hasn't gotten all the film off for quite a few washes lately. I'm going to have to use some rubbing compound to get it clean. I can just do it in sections so it won't be such as hard job. For the first time had to wait behind four other cars to get in. So Joe was done and standing outside when I got back to pick him up.

We had lunch at the Chinese restaurant. Next took the dogs to the park nature path and let them swim in the creek. They got the lunch leftovers. Then drove out to take my artwork to the framing shop. I had 5 or six small ones that need to be custom framed because they are odd sizes. Also I asked Ruth if Gary would mind cleaning up and repairing 7 clunker/junker frames to see if they were anything worth using, and if not I would throw them out. We will see what he can do with them. I'm tired of them taking up space on my shelves if they should be trashed. They are putting a new sun room on their place that will connect to the garage.

After that was the grocery store. Joe walked the dogs again out in the grassy field behind Falers and then had coffee and doughnuts in the deli until I finished. Next I wanted to check out getting a new stove and dishwasher at Pinedale Lumber to replace my old broken ones, but Joe was ready to go home. I found out later with a phone call that the only local option is to order them from Falers - Pinedale Lumber where we originally got ours isn't selling appliances right now until they can build a new showroom. So maybe while Betty is here we can go in and order the new appliances. OOPS! You didn't know Betty is coming yet did you? She and Amigo will be here on the 6th. Plans have been in the works for some time now.

We had BLT sandwiches for dinner so that was easy after a long day. This evening I purged out my wyoming.com email account and forwarded the keeper messages to hughes.net email, but somehow they never arrived at my computer. The only good thing about that is I don't need to do anything about them. People (are you one?) keep using wyoming.com even though I've told them I have a new address ever since last October. I seldom look at wyoming.com and use it for shopping etc.
